Spanish footballer and CD Tenerife striker, Jesus de Miguel Alameda, died on Tuesday after suffering a cardiac arrest during a match.\n<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old collapsed on the pitch following a collision with FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesus Owono during a Spanish second-division fixture on Monday.\n<\/p>\n
The incident occurred in stoppage time when Owono rushed out of his penalty area to clear the ball but struck the forward in the chest.\n<\/p>\n
De Miguel received treatment on the pitch before being taken to hospital, while the match was abandoned and Owono was sent off.<\/p>\n
Tenerife confirmed the striker\u2019s death at about 8 am local time, describing it as a tragedy that had left the club, his family and supporters devastated.\n<\/p>\n
Things to know about Jesus de Miguel<\/p>\n
According to his profile on the club\u2019s website, De Miguel spent most of his career in Spain\u2019s lower divisions before helping Castell\u00f3n and Tenerife secure promotion to the country\u2019s second tier.<\/p>\n
Born in Madrid on September 21, 1996, he played as a striker and made 149 appearances in Spain\u2019s third-tier competitions, scoring 48 goals.\n<\/p>\n
He began his football career with youth teams at CDE Lugo Fuenlabrada and CD Legan\u00e9s before making his senior debut with Legan\u00e9s\u2019 reserve side.\n<\/p>\n
In 2016, he returned to Lugo Fuenlabrada, where he scored 14 goals in a campaign. He joined Internacional de Madrid in July 2017 and helped the club secure promotion to the Segunda Divisi\u00f3n B.\n<\/p>\n
He moved to CF Fuenlabrada in July 2018 before spells with AD Uni\u00f3n Adarve and CDA Navalcarnero. At Navalcarnero, he scored 11 goals in the 2019\/20 season as the club secured promotion to the third division. <\/p>\n
De Miguel later joined Unionistas de Salamanca in July 2021, scoring 12 goals in the 2021\/22 season. He moved to CD Castell\u00f3n in January 2023 and played a key role in the club\u2019s promotion to the Segunda Divisi\u00f3n in 2024.\n<\/p>\n
Castell\u00f3n proved to be one of the most productive spells of his career. He scored 25 goals for the club across three seasons, including three in Spain\u2019s second division.\n<\/p>\n
He netted 16 goals in the 2023\/24 campaign to finish as the leading scorer in his group and help Castell\u00f3n secure promotion.<\/p>\n
He made his professional debut in Spain\u2019s second division in August 2024 and scored his first goals at that level the following month, netting twice in a 5-2 victory over Almeria.\n<\/p>\n
In July 2025, De Miguel joined Tenerife on a three-year contract after the club\u2019s relegation to the third division. He scored six goals in his first five matches and finished the 2025\/26 campaign with 11 goals, helping Tenerife return to the second division at the first attempt.\n<\/p>\n
His connection with Tenerife, however, dated back to May 2018, when he was playing for Internacional de Madrid in a promotion play-off against Espanyol\u2019s reserve side.\n<\/p>\n
The second leg was played at the Heliodoro Rodr\u00edguez L\u00f3pez Stadium, which would later become his home ground.\n<\/p>\n
After a goalless draw in the first leg, Internacional de Madrid secured promotion in front of more than 4,200 spectators, with De Miguel starting the match and playing 78 minutes.\n<\/p>\n
His career took him through several clubs, including CD Legan\u00e9s, CDE Lugo Fuenlabrada, Internacional de Madrid, CF Fuenlabrada, AD Uni\u00f3n Adarve, CDA Navalcarnero, Unionistas de Salamanca, CD Castell\u00f3n and CD Tenerife.\n<\/p>\n
He is survived by his partner, Maria, and their daughter, who was born in 2025.<\/p>\n
